MACROECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Crisis of the century - COVID-19 pandemic badly hit the world economy in 2020 and infected approximately 176 million,
and killed close to 3.8 million people worldwide as per a latest report of BBC(Source: https://www.bbc.com/news/
world-51235105). The pandemic led to a sharp decline in global trade and tighter liquidity conditions. GDP of many
countries shrunk as people curtailed discretionary spending and focused on essentials and precautionary savings
due to uncertainty. COVID – 19 pandemic inflicted humans and economy badly worldwide and necessary protection
measures were necessitated. Governments around the world responded rapidly and rolled out the health and economic
contagion of the crisis. The disruption caused by the pandemic has affected the human life and economic activity the
world over during the financial year 2020-2021 and has resulted in recession. However, following the devastating
health and economic crisis caused by the pandemic, the global economy appears to be emerging from one
of its deepest recessions and beginning a subdued recovery in the last quarter of the Financial Year 2020-21.
However, the world has entered into a new era of rapid global change driven by major shifts in demographics, wealth,
technology, and climate. But economic growth has been uneven and the global outlook remains highly uncertain, with
major risks around the path of the pandemic and the possibility of financial stress amid large debt loads. Controlling
the pandemic at the global level will require more equitable vaccine distribution, especially for low-income countries.
Global challenges — including fiscal strains on governments exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, environmental
degradation, resource depletion, and record levels of displacement — are threatening recent gains. These challenges
are compounded by intensifying systemic risks, including trade tensions, rising debt levels, reduced effectiveness of
monetary policy as a crisis instrument, and increasing inequality — among and within countries (Source : https://
unctad.org/).

1. GLOBAL ECONOMY

The COVID-19 pandemic pushed economies across the globe into a Lockdown, which helped contain the virus
and save lives, but also triggered the worst recession since the Great Depression. Effective policies and measures
are essential to forestall the possibility of worse outcomes, and the necessary measures to reduce contagion
and protect lives are an important investment in long-term human and economic health. Because the economic
fallout is acute in specific sectors, policymakers will need to implement substantial targeted fiscal, monetary, and
financial market measures to support affected households and businesses domestically. Internationally, strong
multilateral cooperation is essential to overcome the effects of the pandemic. Many governments stepped up their
emergency lifelines to protect people, preserve jobs, and prevent bankruptcies. During the end of the 2nd quarter
of the year 2020 several countries had started to recover but in absence of a medical solution recovery was highly
uncertain and the impact on sectors and countries was uneven. In spite of unforeseen impacts of the pandemic,
the global economy seems to coming out from the depths, to which it had receded to during the Great Lockdown in
April, 2020. After an unprecedented contraction in the first half of 2020, economic growth rebounded in Quarter 3.
However, growth in Q4 moderated with GDP slowing to 4% and ultimately for the full year of 2020 GDP contracted
by 3.5%. (Source: https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/WEO)

Global growth is projected at 6% in 2021, moderating to 4.4% in 2022. According to World Economic Outlook
(WEO), the projections for 2021 and 2022 are stronger than in the October 2020. The upward revision reflects
additional fiscal support in a few large economies, the anticipated vaccine-powered recovery in the second half of
2021 and continued adaptation of economic activity to subdued mobility. High uncertainty surrounds this outlook,
related to the path of the pandemic, the effectiveness of policy support to provide a bridge to vaccine-powered
normalization, and the evolution of financial conditions. (Source: https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/WEO)

30 | 32ND ANNUAL REPORT 2020 - 2021


UFLEX LIMITED

CIN: L74899DL1988PLC032166

As per the World Economic Situation and Prospects report by the U.N. Department of Economic and Social Affairs,
developed economies shrank by 5.6 percent in 2020 are projected to recover 4 percent, while developing countries
contracted 2.5 percent and are estimated to grow 5.7 percent in 2021. The U.S. and China are shaping up to be
the main drivers of global growth in 2021. Household consumption and business investment have surged in both
economies. Industrial production has rebounded in most countries, contributing to firming commodity prices and
robust international trade. However, the U.S., China, and India are likely to be the only major economies (along
with Indonesia and South Korea) that exceed pre-COVID-19 GDP levels by the end of 2021. In most other regions,
the effects of the 2020 recession on both GDP and employment are likely to be longer-lasting (Source : https://
unctad.org/).

The global economy will accelerate in 2021, though with significant variation around the world. The world will
benefit from vaccinations, both directly in fewer illnesses and indirectly as lockdowns and fears subside. It will
take most of 2021 and into 2022 for the full benefits of vaccination to be felt, and maybe even longer in developing
countries. (Source : https://www.forbes.com)

Although global economic output was recovering from the collapse triggered by COVID-19, it will remain below
pre-pandemic trends for a prolonged period. The pandemic has exacerbated the risks associated with a decade
long wave of global debt accumulation. It is also likely to steepen the long-expected slowdown in potential growth
over the next decade. In his Foreword, World Bank Group President, David Malpass notes that “Making the right
investments now is vital both to support the recovery when it is urgently needed and foster resilience. Response
to the pandemic crisis today will shape our common future for years to come. We should seize the opportunity to
lay the foundations for a durable, equitable, and sustainable global economy. To accelerate sustainable economic
growth and inclusion, developing countries must tackle a variety of related underlying challenges.

2. INDIAN ECONOMY

India too witnessed unprecedented disruption to live and livelihood with COVID-19 hitting it badly. The lockdown
measures, imposed to contain the spread of Covid-19 pandemic in India, to some extent, yet ubiquitously affected
employment, business, trade, manufacturing, and services activities. The impact of the pandemic and lockdown
was disproportionately felt across industries. While industries such as hospitality and manufacturing were impacted
immediately, the impact on the financial sector was felt with a lag, as is evident from the quarterly GDP numbers.
However, anxiety about health and sporadic regional lockdowns continued to weigh on the services sector, whose
recovery has been relatively gradual. After experiencing one of the world’s tightest lockdowns and recording the
deepest GDP contraction among G20 economies in the second quarter of 2020, the Indian economy started
recovering. While agriculture has benefited from favourable weather conditions, manufacturing and services
suffered. To mitigate damage caused by COVID-19, the government has responded with their stimulus packages.

The growth in India's real GDP during 2020-21 is estimated at -7.30 per cent as compared to the growth rate
of 4.0 per cent in 2019-20., as per the economic growth estimates released by the National Statistical Office
(NSO)(Source: http://www.mospi.nic.in/). The government had projected a GDP contraction of 7.7 per cent in its
first advance estimate. GDP growth, however, is expected to rebound strongly in 2021-22 owing to the reform
measures undertaken by the Government. The stimulus measures and reforms initiated by the Government and
liquidity measures by the RBI are expected to support industrial activity and demand. The launch of Covid-19
vaccination programme in the country will further add momentum to the economic recovery. In line with the
projections for strengthening of India’s growth by multi-lateral institutions, the nominal growth of the economy is
expected to be 14.4 percent in the financial year 2021-22 (Source: https://www.indiabudget.gov.in/. According
to India’s Economic Survey 2020-2021, India remained a preferred investment destination in financial year 2020-
21. However, the RBI has projected GDP growth at 10.5 per cent for the financial year 2021-22 (Source: https://m.
rbi.org.in) while IMF and World Bank puts it at 12.5 percent & 10.1 percent respectively.

3. INDUSTRY STRUCTURE & DEVELOPMENTS

Flexible packages are used for consumer and in industrial applications, to protect, market, and distribute a vast
array of products. Flexible products include rollstock, bags, pouches, labels, wraps, lidding, shrink sleeves and
stretch film. From convenience and durability; ease in opening and resealing; overall cost saving; and high
portability, flexible packaging has cemented itself in the packaging world, and has undoubtedly became a key

contributor to packaging industry growth. This popularity is largely based on frequent technology advancements in
this field; good barrier properties of flexible films; light weight and portability which acquire much less space and
make it cost effective.

Though, increased consumption of processed foods & beverages, innovation in flexible packaging are driving
factors to boost in flexible packaging material consumption, yet fluctuating raw material prices and stringent
regulation on packaging material waste hinder its growth to some extent.

Technological advancements in packaging plays a vital role in driving the growth of flexible packaging market.
Advanced technology in packaging has allowed companies for innovation in products instead of sticking to traditional
methods of packaging. Due to this, many companies are investing in R&D and are coming up with advanced
flexible packaging products with barrier resistance properties that offer resistance against heat and moisture and
eliminates oxidation of foods. Such properties prove effective in maintaining the quality and consistency of food
products while extending their shelf life without the use preservatives. Recent advancements in materials and
production processes have reduced the weight of some flexible packages by up to 50%, consequently lowering
product shipping costs while maintaining or improving product protection. Flexible packaging offers various
environmental advantages viz. low raw material consumption, low carbon footprint, and relatively low waste
produced as compared to conventional packaging formats.

The Global Flexible Packaging Market was valued at around USD 230.00 billion in 2020, and it is projected to
be worth around USD 290.00 billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of around 4% during the forecast period (2021
- 2026) (Source: https://www.mordorintelligence.com/). Technological innovation, sustainability trepidations,
and attractive economics are among the reasons for the remarkable growth of flexible packaging in the last two
decades, globally.

Owing to the rising focus on sustainability, traditional rigid packaging solutions are being substituted by innovative
and more sustainable flexible packaging. The growing market demand for customer-friendly packages and
high level of product protection is expected to boost flexible packaging as a viable and cost-effective substitute.
E-commerce, digital printing, and sustainability are driving market development and growth. Customers are
increasingly becoming willing to pay extra for certain products attributes boosted by flexible packaging. According
to the Flexible Packaging Association, Flexible packaging is mainly used for food, cosmetics and pharma products.
Beauty products manufacturers are also investing in eco-friendly packaging approaches to make more sustainable
usage of plastics in the personal care industry.

The global flexible packaging market is estimated by size at 31.5 million tonnes in 2021, with the market having
increased from 26.9 million tonnes in 2016 – an annual average growth rate of 3.3%. The global market is expected
to grow by an annual average growth rate of 3.4% to 37.5 million tonnes in 2026 (Source: https://www.smithers.
com) and by revenue it is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 4% during the period 2021-2026. The market is
likely to experience growth due to the increased adoption of blister plastic films, aluminum foils, and pouches in the
pharmaceutical industry. The wide adoption of blister material, replacing the glass and rigid plastics, has resulted in
the high application of lidding films. Paper and plastic films are widely used in blister packs, followed by aluminum
foil because of their cost-efficiency. The US pharmaceutical packaging market is the major revenue contributor.
(Source: https://www.globenewswire.com/)

The growth in the flexible packaging industry in India is mainly driven by the food and the pharmaceutical packaging
sectors. The large and growing Indian middle class, along with the growth in organised retailing in the country are
fueling growth in the flexible packaging industry. Another factor, which has provided substantial stimulus to the
packaging industry is the rapid growth of exports, which requires superior packaging standards for the international
market. The Indian packaging industry is dominated by plastic flexible packaging. The traditional rigid packaging
users have also been shifting to flexible packaging in recent times. According to industry sources, the main reason
for this is that flexible packages are found aesthetically attractive, cost-effective and sturdy. Consumer preference
for the use of convenient packaging and packaged products in affordable quantities in laminates is also one of the
main reasons that have contributed to the growth of flexible packaging in India. The food-processing sector is the
largest user of flexible packaging.

5. MAKING A DIFFERENCE WITH ESG STRATAGEM


UFLEX is committed to converting good environmental, social and governance approach into practical and tangible
actions. The company has been making considerable headway in its environmental blueprint. As part of its focus
on reducing plastic pollution thus diminishing harmful impact on environment and doing well for the society,
UFLEX has been aggressively building recycling infrastructures to give a new life to plastic, beyond its original
use. Extending its efforts to keep plastic in the economy and out of the environment under its global sustainability
campaign Project Plastic Fix, UFLEX in this fiscal proposed to set up a recycling plant each in Poland and Mexico.

At its Mexico facility, the company is setting up a rPET or PCR (Post Consumer Recyclate) line to upcycle post-
consumer PET bottles waste into high recycled content polyester PCR films AsclepiusTM for flexible packaging
applications and also proposes to set up another PCPR (Post Consumer Plastic Recyclate) line to recycle post-
consumer multi-layer mixed plastic waste to make molded, injection molded and extrusion molded components,
both of which shall contribute to a circular plastic economy. In Poland, a plant to recycle post-consumer multi-
layered mixed plastic waste has been proposed that will convert the waste into molded, injection molded and
extrusion molded components.

Encouraged by the success in mitigating the piling plastic dumps in Delhi–NCR and giving them a second life with
the installation of PCPR and PCR lines in Noida in 2020, UFLEX embarked on the plan to replicate these models
at other locations, at an even larger scale. At Noida, the PCPR line for washing and recycling of multi-layered
mix plastic waste has a capacity of 10,200 TPA whereas the PCR line can upcycle upto 9,600 TPA of PET bottles
waste.

UFLEX, a key member of Multi-layer Plastic Films Sanitation Trust (MLPFST), is supporting Municipality of
Bengaluru to install, operate and sustain Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Sorting and Segregation Plant. The plant
will separate and sort recoverable component such as plastic, glass, bottle, paper, carton from collected households
waste using advanced technology including Artificial Intelligence (AI). The recovered plastic portion will be further
recycled. The recyclate produced will be used to produce thousands of components both for the domestic as well
industrial use.

UFLEX continued to accentuate its efforts towards incorporating ESG practices on all fronts. This was reflected
in the progresses it made in this fiscal in expanding it green products and solutions range, to help customers
accomplish their sustainability goals faster.

increasingly becoming willing to pay extra for certain product attributes boosted by flexible packaging. For
instance, according to the Flexible Packaging Association, a huge percentage of consumers in North America
are keen to pay more for tangible and functional packaging benefits, such as product protection, shipping
friendly, and supply chain efficacy, among others.
 According to Flexible Packaging Association, demand for flexible packaging products is continuously
increasing in pharma & cosmetic products.
 Beauty products manufacturers, like L'Oréal and Unilever, are also investing in eco-friendly packaging
approaches to make more sustainable usage of plastics in the personal care industry.

Flexible Packaging: Market Dynamics


Driver: Cost-effectiveness and Increased product shelf-life
Due to busy lifestyles, the demand for convenient products has increased, thus leading to a rise in demand for
flexible packs. Flexible plastic packaging requires fewer resources and energy for packaging; hence, flexible packs
are available at low costs and occupy 35% less retail shelf space, rendering them cost-effective as compared to
other forms of packaging. Additionally, there has been a gradual shift in consumer choice from traditional methods
of preparing food at home to buying packaged products (Source: http://packagingnewsletter.com/)
Significant increase in the packed food products during COVID-19 pandemic
During COVID-19 pandemic, people are resorting to panic-buying and bulk stocking daily staples, FMCG, and
fresh food through e-commerce & online channels due to fear of lockdown, which leads to an increase in the
demand for flexible plastic packaging solutions.
Pouches widely preferred for flexible plastic packaging
The pouches segment is projected to be the largest market for flexible plastic packaging. Primarily because of the
increase in the demand for these type across various applications in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and personal
care & cosmetic industries. The increase in the demand for pouches can be attributed to the rise in the demand for
lightweight and convenient packaging solutions.

APAC region to lead the global flexible plastic packaging market by 2025
The APAC region accounted for the largest market share in 2019. Factors such as improving global economy,
expanding working population, rising domestic demand for ready-to-eat & convenience food products are expected
to boost the market for flexible plastic packaging. The market for flexible plastic packaging in APAC is growing in the
food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and personal care & cosmetics industries due to the functional properties offered
by flexible plastic packaging, such as safety, cost-effectiveness, durability, strength, lightweight, environmental-
friendliness, and handling convenience.

Threats
Poor Infrastructure facilities for recycling

Recycling of plastic packaging waste is a process that requires time consuming state-of-the-art infrastructure
facilities. However, some parts of the world lack these facilities for recycling. Even in developed countries such as
the US, the problem of sub-standard infrastructure for recycling persists. Every year, in the US itself, recyclable
containers worth more than USD 11 billion are thrown away due to a lack of recycling facilities. According to the UN
Environment Programme, the world produces around 330 million tons of plastic waste each year. To date, only 9%
of the plastic waste ever generated has been recycled, and only 14% is collected for recycling now. The existing
machinery infrastructure is ill-equipped to handle plastic waste. (Source: https://www.marketsandmarkets.
com/)

Immense Competition from the domestic and international player


The Flexible Packaging Market is highly competitive owing to the presence of multiple vendors in the market.
The market appears to be moderately concentrated with the major players adopting strategies such as product
innovation, mergers, and acquisitions in order to stay competitive in the market.

Regulatory constraints
Due to stringent government regulations, changing consumer preferences, and environmental pressures,
manufacturers are steering their strategies toward circularity and leveraged new plastic technologies to develop
recyclable and sustainable solutions that include specific properties such as oxygen, moisture, light, puncture, and
chemical resistance, and easy-tear propagation. Key focus areas for manufacturers include the development of
alternative bioplastics solutions such as polybutylene succinate and biopolyproplyene, along with the price and
disposal of bioplastics.

Global Pandemic
With the recent outbreak of COVID 19, the flexible packaging manufacturers are facing supply chain disruption
along with decreasing manufacturing at the site in many parts of the world. To ensure the smooth flow of supply
chain, the global food safety initiative (GFSI) certification programs are providing six-month certificate extensions
by conducting a remote audit and risk assessment pertaining to COVID-19 such that the company can approve
a new supplier location without an on-site audit to meet the demand (Source: https://www.globenewswire.com/).
These are continually evolving and changing trends that can be very challenging for companies since they require
change and innovation,

9. FUTURE OUTLOOK

The global flexible packaging market is likely to experience growth due to the increased adoption of blister plastic
films, aluminum foils, and pouches in the pharmaceutical industry. The wide adoption of blister material, replacing
the glass and rigid plastics, has resulted in the high application of lidding films. Paper and plastic films are widely
used in blister packs, followed by aluminum foil because of their cost-efficiency. New and advanced blister machinery
can pack anywhere between 900 and 1,300 blister packs per minute. The US pharmaceutical packaging market is
the major revenue contributor with more than 40-45% approximately of the global pharmaceutical market in value
and will contribute to approx. 45% to the global market growth during the period 2021-2026 (Source: https://www.
globenewswire.com/).

The following factors are likely to contribute to the growth of the flexible packaging market:
 Increased Focus on Sustainable Flexible Packaging
 Profit Volatility in APAC Region
 Usage of High-barrier Plastic Packaging Materials
 Increasing Adoption of Flexible Packaging over Rigid Packaging
The global flexible plastic packaging market size is projected to grow from around USD 230 billion in 2020 to
USD 290.00 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of around 4% from 2020 to 2026. The flexible plastic packaging market
is expected to witness significant growth in the future due to its increased demand in end-use industries, such
as food, beverage, cosmetic & personal care, and pharmaceutical. Growth in modern retailing, high consumer
income, and acceleration in e-commerce activities, especially in the emerging economies, are likely to support the
growth of the flexible plastic packaging market during the forecast period.

The global flexible plastic packaging market witnessed a mixed impact in its growth rate in 2020-2021, as the
packaging industry witnessed a significant disruption in its production due to lockdowns of varying types aimed
at containing the spread of the virus globally. However, there is an increase in the demand for flexible plastic
packaging for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications for product packaging during COVID-19 as people
are resorting to panic-buying and bulk stocking daily staples, FMCG, and fresh food through e-commerce & online
channels due to fear of lockdown, which leads to an increase in the demand for flexible plastic packaging solutions.
Governments of many affected countries, for instance, India, have asked the food industry players to ramp up
production to avoid supply-side shocks and shortages and maintain uninterrupted supply. FMCG companies are
responding by demanding more of flexible plastic packaging products.

The demand for flexible plastic packaging in the pharmaceutical industry, is expected to remain robust as hospitals,
drugs, and PPE manufacturers are responding to the crisis. The demand for household essentials, healthcare, and
medical goods is not expected to decrease dramatically, and retail distribution for these types of products through
online delivery is expected to increase.

Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon
The Company’s Management and its Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation of the other information.
The other information comprises the information included in the Company’s Annual Report, but does not include the
Standalone Financial Statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Standalone Financial
Statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information,
we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibility of the Management for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the
preparation of these Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial
performance including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards specified under
Section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance
with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and
other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that
are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls,
that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the
preparation and presentation of the Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern
basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no
realistic alternative but to do so.

UFLEX LIMITED

CIN: L74899DL1988PLC032166

Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Financial Statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with
SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of these Standalone Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone Financial Statements, whether due to fraud
or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing
our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating
effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty
exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Standalone Financial
Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit
evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the
Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Standalone Financial Statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the Standalone Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in
a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing
of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during
our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the current year and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about
the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our
report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest
benefits of such communication.

terms of Section 143(11) of the Act, we give in “Annexure A”, a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 3

ANNEXURE-B TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT


(Referred to in paragraph 2(f) under “Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements” section of our report to the
members of Uflex Ltd. (“the Company”) of even date)
Report on the Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of sub-Section 3 of Section
143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act’)
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Uflex Limited (‘the Company’) as of March
31, 2021, in conjunction with our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended on
that date.
Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Company’s Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the
internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components
of internal control stated in the “Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting” (the
‘Guidance Note’), issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (‘ICAI’). These responsibilities include
the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively
for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the Company’s policies, the
safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the
accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditor’s Responsibility

32ND ANNUAL REPORT 2020 - 2021 | 67


UFLEX LIMITED

CIN: L74899DL1988PLC032166

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting based
on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI and the Standards on Auditing
prescribed under Section 143 (10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls. Those
Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting were
established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls
system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial
reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk
that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control
based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion
on the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Standalone Financial Statements for external
purposes in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. A company’s internal
financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of
records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
Standalone Financial Statements in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted
in India and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
the Management and Directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on
the Standalone Financial Statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of
collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not
be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods
are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in all
material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial
controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2021, based on the internal control over
financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated
in the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI.

NOTES ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED


31ST MARCH 2021
1. COMPANY OVERVIEW AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

I. COMPANY OVERVIEW
The Company is a public limited company, domiciled in India and registered with the ROC, Delhi & Haryana
under the Registration number 55-32166 dated 21st June 1988. Old Registration number has been converted
into new Corporate Identification Number (CIN) L74899DL1988PLC032166.

Kailash-I, New Delhi- 110 048 and Corporate Office at A-107-108, Sector-4, Noida, Uttar Pradesh-201301.
The Company is a leading Indian Multinational, engaged in the manufacture and sale of flexible packaging
products & offers a complete flexible packaging solution to its customers across the globe.
II. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. BASIS OF PREPERATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements of the company have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting
Standards (Ind AS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules 2015 as amended
from time to time by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), the provisions of Companies Act, 2013, and
guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). Accounting policies have been
consistently applied except where a newly issued Indian Accounting Standard is initially adopted or a
revision to an existing Indian Accounting Standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in
use. Financial statements of the company are prepared under the historical cost convention except for
the certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as mentioned in applicable accounting
policies.
B. USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of the financial statements is in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make
estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the
application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the period. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes
aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on going concern basis.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the
revision affects only that period, in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both
current and future.
C. CLASSIFICATION OF EXPENDITURE / INCOME
Except otherwise indicated:
i) All expenditure and income are accounted for under the natural heads of account.
ii) All expenditure and income are accounted for on accrual basis.
D. REVENUES
Revenues from sale of goods and processing
Revenue from the sale of goods and processing of material (Job Work) in the course of ordinary activities
is measured at the value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts,
rate differences and volume rebates. Revenue is recognized at point of time, which represents transfer
of control to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible
return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing effective control over the goods and the
amount of revenue can be measured reliably. The timing of transfer of control normally happens upon
shipment. However in case of consignment sales to agents revenues are recognized when the materials
are sold to ultimate customers.
Further, revenues are recognized at gross value of consideration of goods & processing of goods
excluding Goods and Service Tax (GST).

performed to date as a percentage of total services to be performed. In case where the services are
performed by an indeterminate number of acts over a specified period of time, revenue is recognized
on a straight line basis over the specified period. After the initial recognition, in respect of uncollectible

NOTES ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021

on initial recognition, except for trade receivables/payables and where cost of generation of fair value
exceeds benefits, which are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs directly related to
the acquisition or issue of the financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and
financial liabilities through statement of profit & loss) are added to or deducted from the cost of financial
assets or financial liabilities. Transaction cost directly attributed to the acquisition of financial assets
or financial liabilities at fair value through statement of profit & loss are recognized immediately in the
statement of profit & loss.
Subsequent Recognition:
Non-derivative financial instruments
(i) Financial assets carried at amortized cost: A financial asset is subsequently measured at
amortized cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to
collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified
dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount
outstanding.
(ii) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income: A financial asset is
subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a
business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling
financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash
flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
The Company has made an irrevocable election for its investments which are classified as equity
instruments (all being not held for trading), to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other
comprehensive income based on its business model.
Fair value of the listed equity instruments are measured using the rate quoted in the stock
exchange wherein the securities are actively traded as on the last working day of the period of
reporting. In respect of unlisted equity instruments, fair value is determined based on the latest
audited financial statements and considering the open market information available, failing which
it shall be measured at cost.
(iii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: A financial asset which is not classified
in any of the above categories (including investment in units of mutual funds) is subsequently fair
valued through profit or loss.
(iv) Financial liabilities: Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the
effective interest method, except for contingent consideration recognized in a business combination
which is subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss. For trade and other payables
maturing within one year from the Balance Sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair
value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

K. LOANS AND ADVANCES
Loans and advances are non-derivative financial assets with fixed and determinable payments. This
category includes the loans, other financial assets and other current assets.
Subsequent to initial measurement, loans and receivables are carried at amortized cost based on
effective interest rate method less appropriate allowance for doubtful receivables, if any.
Loans and advances are further classified as current and non-current depending whether they will
realize within 12 months from the balance sheet date or beyond.
L. FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
Financial liabilities are initially recognized at the fair value of the consideration received less directly
attributable transaction cost.

The difference in the initial carrying amount of the financial liabilities and their redemption value is
recognized in the statement of profit & loss over the contractual term using the effective interest rate
method.
Financial liabilities are further classified as current and non-current depending whether they are payable
within 12 months from the balance sheet date or beyond.

are cancelled or replaced by a new liability with substantial modified terms.
M. EARNING PER SHARE
Basic Earnings Per Share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity shareholders
of the company to the weighted average number of Shares outstanding during the period & Diluted
earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity shareholders of the
company after adjusting the effect of all dilutive potential equity shares that were outstanding during the
period. The weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period includes the weighted
average number of equity shares that could have issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential.
N. TAXATION
Current Tax

reporting date.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where the company has legal enforceable right to offset and
intends either to settle on net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liability simultaneously.
Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities
Deferred tax is recognized for all taxable temporary differences and is calculated based on the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation
purposes.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied when the asset is realized or
the liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting
date.
Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be
available against which the assets can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting
date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset.
Current and Deferred Tax for the Year
Current and deferred tax are recognized in the statement of profit & loss, except when they relates to
items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current
tax and deferred tax is recognized directly in other comprehensive income or equity as the case may be.

services are rendered by the employee.
b. Liability in respect of Defined Long Term benefit plan is determined at the present value of the
amounts payable determined using actuarial valuation techniques performed by an independent
actuarial at each balance sheet date using the projected unit credit methods. Re-measurement,
comprising actuarial gain and losses, the effects of assets ceiling (if applicable) and the return on
plan assets (excluding interest), are reflected immediately in the statement of Financial Position
with a charge or credit recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur.
Past Service cost is recognized in the statement of profit & loss in the period of plan amendment.

c. Liabilities for accumulating paid absences is determined at the present value of the amounts payable
determined using the actuarial valuation techniques performed by an independent actuarial at each
balance sheet date using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gain or losses in respect of
accumulating paid absences are charged to statement of profit & loss account.
d. Liabilities for short term employee benefits are measured at undiscounted amount of the benefits
expected to be paid and charged to Statement of Profit & Loss in the year in which the related
service is rendered.
P. IMPAIRMENT
Financial assets
The company recognizes the impairment on financial assets based on the expected credit loss model
for the financial assets which are not fair value through statement of profit and loss. Loss allowance on
trade receivables, with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime
expected credit loss. The amount of expected credit losses or reversal that is required to adjust the
loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized is recognized as an
impairment gain or loss in the statement of profit and loss for the period.
Intangible assets, investment property and property, plant and equipment
Intangible assets, investment property and property plant & equipment are evaluated for recoverability
wherever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable.
For impairment testing, assets that do not generate independent cash flows are grouped together into
cash generating units (CGUs).
For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less
cost to sell and the value in use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does
not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the
recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs.
If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in the statement of profit
and loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated
recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the statement of profit & loss if there
have been changes in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount
is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceeds the carrying
amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization or depreciation) had no
impairment loss has been recognized for the asset in prior years.
Q. PROVISIONS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS
A provision is recognized, if as a result of past event the company has present legal or constructive
obligations that is reasonably estimable and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed for possible obligations arising out of uncertain events not wholly in
control of the company.
Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements. However due disclosures are made
in the financial statements for the contingent assets, where economic benefits is probable and amount
can be estimated reliably.
R. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

authority / inter-bank rates, ruling on the date of transaction.
Unsettled Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities, as at the balance sheet date,
are translated using the exchange rates as at the balance sheet date. The gain or loss resulting from
the translation is recognized in the statement of profit & loss. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary
liabilities denominated in foreign currency and measured at cost are translated at the exchange rate at
the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in foreign

currency and measured carried at fair value are translated at the date when the fair value is determined.
Transaction gain or losses realized upon settlement of foreign currency transaction are included in
determining the net profit for the period in which transaction is settled.
Exchanges difference arises on settlement / translation of foreign currency monetary items relating to
acquisition of property, plant & equipment till the period they are put to use for commercial production,
are capitalized to the cost of assets acquired and provided for over the useful life of the property, plant
& equipment.
S. LEASES
The Company as a Lessee
The Company’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land, rental properties, equipment
and vehicles. The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A
contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset
for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to
control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether: (i) the contract involves the use
of an identified asset (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the
asset through the period of the lease and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.
At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a
corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a
term of 12 months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low-value
leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis
over the term of the lease. Certain lease arrangements includes the options to extend or terminate the
lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it
is reasonably certain that they will be exercised. The ROU assets are initially recognized at cost, which
comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to
the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are
subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. ROU assets are
depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term
and useful life of the underlying asset. ROU assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose
of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and
the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash
flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is
determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.
The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease
payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily
determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates of the Company. Lease liabilities are remeasured with
a corresponding adjustment to the related ROU asset if the Company changes its assessment of whether
it will exercise an extension or a termination option. Lease liability and ROU assets have been separately
presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.
For Short Term Leases and leases for which underlying asset is of low value, Lease payments are
recognize as an expenses on a straight line basis over a lease term.
The Company as a lessor
Leases for which the Company is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the
terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract
is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant
lease
T. BORROWING COST
Borrowings cost are interest and other costs (including exchange differences relating to foreign currency
borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs) incurred in connection
with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of
qualifying /eligible assets, intended for commercial production are capitalized as part of the cost of such
assets. All other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the year in which they are incurred.

Assumptions
Interest rate 6.8% P.A. 6.8% P.A.
Estimated rate of return on plan assets 6.8% P.A. 6.8% P.A.

The expected benefits increases are based on the same assumptions as are used to measure the Company's
defined benefit plan obligations as at 31st March 2021. The company is expected to contribute Rs. 1365.32
lacs to defined benefits plan obligations fund for the year ending 31st March 2022.
The significant accounting assumptions are the discount rate and expected salary increases. The sensitivity
analysis below have been determined based on reasonable possible changes of the respective assumptions
occurring at the end of the reporting period while other assumptions are constant.
If the discount rate increases /(decreases) by 0.5%, the defined benefit plan obligations would decrease by
Rs.223.11 Lacs (increase by Rs.239.46 Lacs) as at 31st March 2021.
If the expected salary growth increases /(decreases) by 0.5%, the defined benefit plan obligations would
increase by Rs.237.98 Lacs (decrease by Rs.223.46 Lacs) as at 31st March 2021.
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit
obligations as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of
the assumptions may be correlated.
Further in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligations has
been calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same
as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the Balance Sheet.

41: The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has created an unprecedented global health crisis that
has a deep impact on the businesses and economy. Uflex operates in multiple countries across the globe – both
in terms of its manufacturing operations and the markets for its products and all these countries had imposed
lockdowns of varying types aimed at containing the spread of the virus. Given that Uflex business is manufacturing
of Flexible Packaging Films and Flexible Packaging, which is predominantly used in food and Pharma packaging,
all out efforts were being made by all countries to ensure the adequate supply of food and medicines to the public,
which was made possible only due to seamless continued operations of packaging industry. While Uflex did face
initial administrative and supply chain challenges in some countries during initial lockdown period, but there was
no impact on its overall production and sales volumes during the period. While Uflex believes that its business
will continue to remain unscathed by the pandemic; however there could be uncertainties in the future due to
underlying developments w.r.t COVID 19, which are difficult to predict.
42 : Due to Outbreak of fire certain assets situated in factory premises at Jammu Unit 2 and at Sector-60 Noida were
damaged during the year ended 31st March 2020. These assets are covered under insurance on reinstatement
basis for which intimation has already been given to the insurance company and the company will submit final
claims upon reconstruction of damaged assets. The company is in the process of reconstructing these assets and
has incurred Rs. 2728.61 lacs till 31st March 2021 (Net of adhoc claims received), towards assets destroyed during
outbreak of fires, which is expected to be recovered in full.

Interest Rate Risk

Generally market linked financial instruments are subject to interest rate risk. The company does not have any
market linked financial instruments both on the asset side as well liability side. Hence there is no interest rate risk
linked to market rates.

However the interest rate in respect major portion of borrowings by the Company from the banks and others are
linked with the Benchmark / Base Prime lending rate of the respective lender and in case of foreign currency
borrowings, the same is linked with the LIBOR. Any fluctuation in the same either on higher side or lower side will
result into financial loss or gain to the company.

The amount which is subjected to the change in the interest rate is of Rs. 116205.35 lacs out of the total debt of
Rs. 124746.83 Lacs.

Based on the Structure of the debt as at year end, one percentage point increase in the interest rate would cause
an additional expense in the net financing cost of Rs. 1162.05 Lacs.

Foreign Currency Risk

The company is exposed to the foreign currency risk from transactions & translation. Transactional exposures are
arising from the transactions entered into foreign currency. Management keeps a close watch of the maturity of
the financial assets in foreign currency and payment obligations of the financial liabilities.

The carrying amount of the Company’s material foreign currency dominated monetary Assets and Liabilities at the
end of the reporting period is as below:

Commodity Price Risk


The main raw materials which company procures are global commodities and their prices are to a great extent
linked to the movement of crude prices directly or indirectly.
The pricing policy of the Company final product is structured in such a way that any change in price of raw materials
is passed on to the customers in the final product however, with a time lag which mitigates the raw material price
risk.
With regard to the finished products, the Company has been operating in a global competitive environment which
continues to keep downward pressure on the prices and the volumes of the products.
In order to combat this situation, the Company formulated manifold plans and strategies to develop new customers
& focus on new innovative products. In addition, it has also been focusing on improvement in product quality and
productivity. With these measures, Company counters the competition and consequently commodity price risk.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements


Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or
error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Consolidated Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Consolidated Financial Statements, whether due to
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our
opinion on whether the Holding Company, an Indian Subsidiary and an Indian Associate, has adequate internal
financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the ability of the Group, its Associate and or Jointly Controlled Entities to continue as a going
concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to
the related disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our
opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However,
future events or conditions may cause the Group, its Associate and or Jointly Controlled Entities to cease to continue
as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Consolidated Financial Statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the Consolidated Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events
in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities
within the Group, its Associate and Jointly Controlled Entities to express an opinion on the Consolidated Financial
Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements
of the entity included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the
other entities included in the Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been audited by other auditors, such
other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them.
We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entity included in the
Consolidated Financial Statements of which we are the independent auditors regarding, among other matters, the
planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal
control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the current year and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about
the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our
report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest
benefits of such communication.
Other Matters
We have audited one Indian Subsidiary, viz. USC Holograms Pvt. Ltd.. We did not audit the financial statements of
balance 13 subsidiaries as at March 31, 2021, whose financial statements reflect total assets of Rs. 777,637.74 Lacs

as at March 31, 2021, total revenues of Rs.530,835.25 Lacs and net cash inflows amounting to Rs. 7709.27 Lacs for
the year ended on that date, as considered in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Consolidated Financial
Statements also include the Group’s share of net profit of Rs. 135.81 lacs and Other Comprehensive Income of Rs.
9.26 lacs, for the year ended March 31, 2021, as considered in the Consolidated Financial Statements, in respect of
the Associate and a Jointly Controlled Entity, whose financial statements have not been audited by us. In respect of
above financial statements, which have been audited by other auditors, whose reports have been furnished to us by
the Management and our opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements, in so far as it relates to the amounts and
disclosures included in respect of these Subsidiaries, above Associate and above Jointly Controlled Entity and our
report in terms of sub-Sections (3) and (11) of Section 143 of the Act, in so far as it relates to the aforesaid Subsidiaries,
above Associate and above Jointly Controlled Entity, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.
We did not audit the financial statements of another Jointly Controlled Entity, which reflect Group’s share of net Loss of
Rs. 5.25 lacs and Other Comprehensive Income of Rs. NIL, for the year ended March 31, 2021, as considered in the
Consolidated Financial Statements. These financial statements are unaudited and have been certified & furnished to us
by the Management and our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, in so far as it relates to the amounts and
disclosures included in respect of this Jointly Controlled Entity, and our report in terms of sub-sections (3) and (11) of
Section 143 of the Act in so far as it relates to this Jointly Controlled Entity, is based solely on such unaudited financial
statements. In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us by the Management, these
financial statements are not material to the Group.
Auditors of one of the material Components, viz. Flex P Films (Egypt) S.A.E., Fellow Subsidiary Company, have
mentioned, inter-alia, in their Auditor’s Report in paragraph “Emphasis of Matters”; that ‘Most of the world countries,
including Egypt, were exposed to the new Covid-19 pandemic starting from the first quarter of 2020, causing disruption
to most of commercial and economic activities in general. Thus, it is possible that this will have a significant impact
on the pre-defined operational and marketing plans, future cash flows associated with it, the associated elements of
assets, liabilities, and business results in the financial statements of the company during the following periods. The
company’s management is currently taking several measures to mitigate such risk and reduce its impact on its financial
position and support its ability to continue. However, in light of the instability and the state of uncertainty as a result of
the current events, the magnitude of the impact of such event depends mainly on the continuation of those effects and
the company’s ability to achieve its plans to confront this danger, which is difficult to be determined at the present time.’
Their Auditor’s opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Our opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements, and our “Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements”
below, is not modified in respect of the above matters with respect to our reliance on the work done and the reports of
the other auditors and the financial statement certified by the Management.

ANNEXURE TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON THE CONSOLIDATED


FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Referred to in paragraph (g) under “Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements” section of our Report on
the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements, to the members of Uflex Limited (“the Holding Company”), of even
date)
Report on the Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of sub-Section 3 of Section
143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act’)
In conjunction with our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Uflex Limited (herein referred to as “the
Holding Company”), its Subsidiaries, Associate and Jointly Controlled Entities, as of and for the year ended March 31,
2021, we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Holding Company, its Indian Subsidiary,
viz. USC Holograms Pvt. Ltd, and its Indian Associate, viz. Flex Foods Ltd. (the Holding Company, its Indian Subsidiary
and its Indian Associate are together referred to as “Indian Enterprises”) as of that date.
Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Respective Board of Directors of the Indian Enterprises, are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal
financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Indian Enterprises
considering the essential components of internal control stated in the ‘Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial
Controls over Financial Reporting’ (the ‘Guidance Note’), issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI).
These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that
were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the
Indian Enterprises’ policies, the safeguarding of their assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the
accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as
required under the Act.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Indian Enterprises’ internal financial controls over financial reporting
based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI and the

32ND ANNUAL REPORT 2020 - 2021 | 113


UFLEX LIMITED

CIN: L74899DL1988PLC032166

Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143 (10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of Internal
Financial Controls. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial
reporting were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls
system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial
reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk
that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control
based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the Consolidated Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained, and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditor in terms of
their report referred to in the “Other Matters” paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion on the Indian Enterprises’ internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
The Indian Enterprises’ internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements
for external purposes in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India.
The Indian Enterprises’ internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the Indian Enterprises; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded
as necessary to permit preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the Ind AS and other
accounting principles generally accepted in India and that receipts and expenditures of the Indian Enterprises are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Management and Directors of the Indian Enterprises; and (3)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition
of the assets of the Indian Enterprises that could have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of
collusion or improper management, override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not
be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods
are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us and based on the consideration
of reports of the other auditor, as referred to in the “Other Matters” paragraph below, the Indian Enterprises’ have, in
all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial
controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2021, based on the internal control over
financial reporting criteria established by the Indian Enterprises, considering the essential components of internal
control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI.
Other Matters
Our aforesaid report under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal
financial controls over financial reporting in so far, as it relates to the Indian Associate, not audited by us, is based on
the corresponding report of its auditor.

NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED


31ST MARCH 2021
1: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. BASIS OF PREPERATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements of the group have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards
(Ind AS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules 2015 as amended from time to
time by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), the provisions of Companies Act, 2013, and guidelines issued
by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). Accounting policies have been consistently applied
except where a newly issued Indian Accounting Standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing Indian
Accounting Standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use. Financial statements of the
group are prepared under the historical cost convention except for the certain financial assets and liabilities
measured at fair value as mentioned in applicable accounting policies.

The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR). Amount has been rounded off to nearest lacs.

B. BASIS AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements comprise those of UFLEX Limited and its affiliated companies (the
Group).

Companies which the group controls are fully consolidated from the date at which the Group obtains the
control over the entity. The Group controls the entity when it is exposed to, or has right to, variable returns from
its involvement with the company and has ability to affect those returns through its power over the company.
The Group holds either full or majority of voting rights in the companies which are controlled.

The financial statements of the Group Companies are consolidated on a line-by-line basis by adding together
the book values of like items of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, subject to regrouping & netting of
certain items, which present the consolidation in a fair manner without affecting the materiality, after eliminating
the intra-group transactions and also unrealized profit or losses resulting from intra-group transactions
included in the carrying amount of assets. The group financial statements are prepared by adopting uniform
accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances and are presented to
the extent possible, in the same manner as that of holding company’s financial statements. Non-controlling
interest which represent part of the net profit or loss and net assets of the subsidiaries that are not, directly
or indirectly, owned or controlled by the Group, are excluded. The excess / short amount of investment of the
Group over its share in the net assets of the respective affiliates is recognized as Goodwill or Capital Reserve
in the financial statement.

Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence, but not control. Investments in the
associate companies have been accounted under the Equity Method of accounting. The investment is initially
recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or reduced by the amount of share in profit & loss of
the investee after the date of acquisition. The Groups investment in associates includes goodwill identified on
acquisition.

Joint Ventures are entities over which the Group has joint control. Investments in the joint venture have been
accounted under the Equity Method of accounting. The investment is initially recognized at cost, and the
carrying amount is increased or reduced by the amount of share in profit & loss of the investee after the date
of acquisition.

The list of companies of the UFLEX Group, associates and joint ventures are given as under:

Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. Where not all of the equity of a
Acquiree is acquired the non-controlling interests are recognized at the non-controlling interest share in net
identifiable assets of the Acquiree. Upon obtaining control in a business combination achieved in stages, the
Group remeasures its previously held equity interest at fair value and recognizes a gain or a loss to the other
comprehensive income.

All the figures of assets, liabilities, revenue & expenses of subsidiaries, which are stated in foreign currency in
its separate financial statements, are converted into Indian Rupees in accordance with the Ind AS 21 on “The
Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”.

C. USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of the financial statements is in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make
estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application
of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the period. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in
circumstances surrounding the estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on going concern basis.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision
affects only that period, in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and
future.

D. CLASSIFICATION OF EXPENDITURE / INCOME

Except otherwise indicated:

i) All expenditure and income are accounted for under the natural heads of account.

ii) All expenditure and income are accounted for on accrual basis.

E. REVENUES

Revenues from sale of goods and processing

Revenue from the sale of goods and processing of material (Job Work ) in the course of ordinary activities
is measured at the value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts, rate
differences and volume rebates. Revenue is recognized at point of time, which represents transfer of control
to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can
be estimated reliably, there is no continuing effective control over the goods and the amount of revenue can

NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021
be measured reliably. The timing of transfer of control normally happens upon shipment. However in case of
consignment sales to agents revenues are recognized when the materials are sold to ultimate customers.

Further, revenues are recognized at gross value of consideration of goods & processing of goods excluding
Goods and Service Tax (GST).

Revenue from Services

Revenue from the service contract is recognized when the related services are performed and revenue from
the services at the end of the reporting period is recognized based on stage of completion method. When
there is uncertainty as to the ultimate collection of the revenue, recognition is postponed until such uncertainty
is resolved. Revenues from service contracts are measured based on the services performed to date as a
percentage of total services to be performed. In case where the services are performed by an indeterminate
number of acts over a specified period of time, revenue is recognized on a straight line basis over the specified
period. After the initial recognition, in respect of uncollectible amount, provisions are made in the period in
which amount is identified as uncollectible.

Interest Income
Interest income is recognized on time apportionment basis. Effective interest method is used to compute the
interest income on long terms loans and advances.

Dividend Income

Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive is established, which is generally when shareholders
approve the dividend.

F. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (PPE)


Recognition and measurement:
Property, plant and equipment are initially recognized at cost after deducting refundable purchase taxes and

the component of internal profits.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the statement of profit
or loss.

complete and use or sell the product / technology and the cost is reliably measurable. Revenue expenditures
pertaining to Research is charged to the statement of profit & loss. Development costs of products are charged
to the statement of profit & loss unless a products technological and commercial feasibility has been established
in which case such expenditure is capitalized. Subsequent to initial recognition, internally generated intangible
assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss, if any.

acquisition or net realizable value.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs
of completion and sales.

J. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Initial Recognition:

The Group recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the instrument. All financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value on initial recognition,
except for trade receivables/payables and where cost of generation of fair value exceeds benefits, which
are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs directly related to the acquisition or issue of the
financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities through statement of
profit & loss) are added to or deducted from the cost of financial assets or financial liabilities. Transaction cost
directly attributed to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through statement of
profit & loss are recognized immediately in the statement of profit & loss.

Subsequent Recognition:

Non-derivative financial instruments

(i) Financial assets carried at amortized cost: A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortized
cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual
cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that
are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

(ii) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income: A financial asset is subsequently
measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose
objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the
contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments
of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

The Group has made an irrevocable election for its investments which are classified as equity instruments
(all being not held for trading), to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive
income based on its business model.

Fair value of the listed equity instruments are measured using the rate quoted in the stock exchange
wherein the securities are actively traded as on the last working day of the period of reporting. In respect
of unlisted equity instruments, fair value is determined based on the latest audited financial statements
and considering the open market information available, failing which it shall be measured at cost.

(iii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: A financial asset which is not classified in any
of the above categories (including investment in units of mutual funds) is subsequently measured at fair
value through profit or loss.

(iv) Financial liabilities: Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective
interest method, except for contingent consideration recognized in a business combination which is
subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss. For trade and other payables maturing
within one year from the Balance Sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short
maturity of these instruments.
K. TRADE RECEIVABLES

Trade receivables represents amount billed to customers as credit sales and are net off; a) any amount billed
but for which revenues are reversed under the relevant Indian accounting standard and b) impairment for
trade receivables, which is estimated for amounts not expected to be collected in full.

L. LOANS AND ADVANCES


Loans and advances are non-derivative financial assets with fixed and determinable payments. This category
includes the loans, other financial assets and other current assets.

Subsequent to initial measurement, loans and receivables are carried at amortized cost based on effective
interest rate method less appropriate allowance for doubtful receivables, if any.

UFLEX LIMITED

CIN: L74899DL1988PLC032166

NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021
Loans and advances are further classified as current and non-current depending whether they will realize
within 12 months from the balance sheet date or beyond.

M. FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
Financial liabilities are initially recognized at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable
transaction cost.
Subsequent to initial measurement, financial liabilities viz borrowings are measured at amortised cost. The
difference in the initial carrying amount of the financial liabilities and their redemption value is recongised in
the statement of profit & loss over the contractual term using the effective interest rate method.
Financial liabilities are further classified as current and non-current depending whether they are payable within
12 months from the balance sheet date or beyond.
Financial liabilities are derecognized when the Group is discharged from its obligation; they expire, are
cancelled or replaced by a new liability with substantial modified terms.

N. EARNING PER SHARE

Basic Earnings Per Share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the Equity Share Holders of the
Group to the weighted average number of Shares outstanding during the period & Diluted earnings per share
is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the Equity Share Holders of the Group after adjusting the
effect of all dilutive potential equity shares that were outstanding during the period. The weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the period includes the weighted average number of equity shares that
could have issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential.

O. TAXATION

Current Tax
Current tax is expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using the tax rate enacted at the
reporting date.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where the Group has legal enforceable right to offset and intends
either to settle on net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liability simultaneously.

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities


Deferred tax is recognized for all taxable temporary differences and is calculated based on the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied when the asset is realised or the
liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be
available against which the assets can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date
and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset and when
the deferred tax balances relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on
different tax entities, but the Group intends to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax
assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
Deferred tax is not recognized for temporary differences relating to:
- initial recognition of goodwill;
- initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects
neither accounting nor taxable profit; and
- Investments in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities where the Group is able to control
the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that they will not reverse in the
foreseeable future.

Current and Deferred Tax for the Year

Current and deferred tax are recognized in the statement of profit & loss, except when they relates to items
that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current tax and
deferred tax is recognized directly in other comprehensive income or equity as the case may be.

NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021
P. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
The Group provides for the various benefits plans to the employees. These are categorized into Defined
Benefits Plans and Defined Contributions Plans. Defined contribution plans includes the amount paid by the
Group towards the liability for employees benefits plans notified / enacted by the competent authority and
defined benefits plans includes the retirement benefits, such as gratuity and paid absences (leave benefits)
both accumulated and non-accumulated.

a. In respect Defined Contribution Plans, contribution made to the specified fund based on the services
rendered by the employees are charged to Statement of Profit & Loss in the year in which services are
rendered by the employee.

b. Liability in respect of Defined Long Term benefit plan is determined at the present value of the amounts
payable determined using actuarial valuation techniques performed by an independent actuarial at each
balance sheet date using the projected unit credit methods. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gain
and losses, the effects of assets ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding interest),
are reflected immediately in the statement of Financial Position with a charge or credit recognized in other
comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Past Service cost is recognized in the statement
of profit & loss in the period of plan amendment.

c. Liabilities for accumulating paid absences is determined at the present value of the amounts payable
determined using the actuarial valuation techniques performed by an independent actuarial at each balance
sheet date using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gain or losses in respect of accumulating paid
absences are charged to statement of profit & loss account.

d. Liabilities for short term employee benefits are measured at undiscounted amount of the benefits expected
to be paid and charged to Statement of Profit & Loss in the year in which the related service is rendered.

Q. GOVERNMENT GRANTS
Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the entity will comply with the
conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.

Grants received as part of package of financial aids to which the number of condition are attached, the grant
is initially recognized as liability and proportionately transferred to the Reserves on fulfillment of the conditions
attached to it.

Grants received as part of investment in the specific fixed asset is reduced from the Cost of that asset at the
time of receipt of the Grant.

Revenue Grants are recognized in the statement of Profit & Loss.

R. IMPAIRMENT

Financial assets

The Group recognizes the impairment on financial assets based on the expected credit loss model for
the financial assets which are not fair value through statement of profit and loss. Loss allowance on trade
receivables, with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected
credit loss. The amount of expected credit losses or reversal that is required to adjust the loss allowance at
the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized is recognized as an impairment gain or loss
in the statement of profit and loss for the period.

Intangible assets, investment property and property, plant and equipment

Intangible assets, investment property and property plant & equipment are evaluated for recoverability
wherever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable.

For impairment testing, assets that do not generate independent cash flows are grouped together into cash
generating units (CGUs).

For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell
and the value in use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows
that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined
for the CGU to which the asset belongs.

UFLEX LIMITED

CIN: L74899DL1988PLC032166

NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021
If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in the statement of profit and
loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable
amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the statement of profit & loss if there have been
changes in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount is increased to its
revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceeds the carrying amount that would have
been determined (net of any accumulated amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss has been
recognized for the asset in prior years.

S. PROVISIONS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS

A provision is recognized, if as a result of past event the Group has present legal or constructive obligations
that is reasonably estimable and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle
the obligation.

Contingent liabilities are disclosed for possible obligations arising out of uncertain events not wholly in control
of the Group.

Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements. However due disclosures are made in
the financial statements for the contingent assets, where economic benefits is probable and amount can be
estimated reliably.

T. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

Functional Currency

The Company functional currency is Indian Rupees. The financial statement of the company is presented in
Indian rupees rounded off to nearest lacs.

Transaction and Translations


Transactions in currency other than Indian Rupees are recorded at the rate, as declared by the custom
authority / inter-bank rates, ruling on the date of transaction.

Unsettled Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities, as at the balance sheet date, are
translated using the exchange rates as at the balance sheet date. The gain or loss resulting from the translation
is recognized in the statement of profit & loss. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated
in foreign currency and measured at cost are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currency and measured carried at
fair value are translated at the date when the fair value is determined.

Transaction gain or losses realized upon settlement of foreign currency transaction are included in determining
the net profit for the period in which transaction is settled.

Exchanges difference arises on settlement / translation of foreign currency monetary items relating to acquisition
of property, plant & equipment till the period they are put to use for commercial production, are capitalized to
the cost of assets acquired and provided for over the useful life of the property, plant & equipment.

U. LEASES

The Group as a lessee

The Group’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land, rental properties, equipment’s and
vehicles. The Group assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or
contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in
exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified
asset, the Group assesses whether: (i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset (ii) the Group has
substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (iii) the
Group has the right to direct the use of the asset.

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Group recognizes a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a
corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term
of 12 months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low-value leases,
the Group recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of
the lease. Certain lease arrangements includes the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of

128 | 32ND ANNUAL REPORT 2020 - 2021


UFLEX LIMITED

NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021
the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they
will be exercised. The ROU assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the
lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus
any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses. ROU assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-
line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. ROU assets are evaluated
for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not
be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value
less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not
generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable
amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.

The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable,
using the incremental borrowing rates of the Group. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding
adjustment to the related ROU asset if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise an
extension or a termination option. Lease liability and ROU assets have been separately presented in the
Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.

For Short Term Leases and leases for which underlying asset is of low value, Lease payments are recognize
as an expenses on a straight line basis over a lease term.

The Group as a lessor

Leases for which the Group is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the
lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a
finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease

V. BORROWING COST

Borrowings cost are interest and other costs (including exchange differences relating to foreign currency
borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs) incurred in connection with
the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying /
eligible assets, intended for commercial production are capitalised as part of the cost of such assets. All other
borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the year in which they are incurred.

lacs to defined benefits plan obligations fund for the year ending 31st March 2022.
The significant accounting assumptions are the discount rate and expected salary increases. The sensitivity
analysis below have been determined based on reasonable possible changes of the respective assumptions
occurring at the end of the reporting period while other assumptions are constant.
If the discount rate increases /(decreases) by 0.5%, the defined benefit plan obligations would decrease by
Rs.223.11 Lacs (increase by Rs.239.46 Lacs) as at 31st March 2021.
If the expected salary growth increases /(decreases) by 0.5%, the defined benefit plan obligations would
increase by Rs.237.98 Lacs (decrease by Rs.223.46 Lacs) as at 31st March 2021.
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit
obligations as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of
the assumptions may be correlated.
Further in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligations has
been calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same
as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the Balance Sheet.

38: The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has created an unprecedented global health crisis that
has a deep impact on the businesses and economy. Uflex operates in multiple countries across the globe – both
in terms of its manufacturing operations and the markets for its products and all these countries had imposed
lockdowns of varying types aimed at containing the spread of the virus. Given that Uflex business is manufacturing
of Flexible Packaging Films and Flexible Packaging, which is predominantly used in food and Pharma packaging,
all out efforts were being made by all countries to ensure the adequate supply of food and medicines to the public,
which was made possible only due to seamless continued operations of packaging industry. While Uflex did face
initial administrative and supply chain challenges in some countries during initial lockdown period, but there was
no impact on its overall production and sales volumes during the period. While Uflex believes that its business
will continue to remain unscathed by the pandemic; however there could be uncertainties in the future due to

in respect of the% of sales generated from the top customer and top five customers are given hereunder.

Particulars Current Year Previous Year


Revenue from Top Customer 7% 10%
Revenue from Top Five Customers 15% 18%

Commodity Price Risk


The main raw materials which Group procures are global commodities and their prices are to a great extent linked
to the movement of crude prices directly or indirectly.
The pricing policy of the Group final product is structured in such a way that any change in price of raw materials is
passed on to the customers in the final product however, with a time lag which mitigates the raw material price risk.
With regard to the finished products, the Group has been operating in a global competitive environment which
continues to keep downward pressure on the prices and the volumes of the products.
In order to combat this situation, the Group formulated manifold plans and strategies to develop new customers
& focus on new innovative products. In addition, it has also been focusing on improvement in product quality and
productivity. With these measures, Group counters the competition and consequently commodity price risk.
